Michael Jackson -- Power to the Lawyer!
Posted Oct 20th 2009 8:40PM by TMZ Staff
Michael Jackson's estate lawyers want the judge to lay down the law once and for all ... John Branca and John McClain have broad powers to make decisions for all things MJ.
The attorneys filed legal papers today asking the court to put in writing what the judge said earlier this month -- outlining what Branca and McClain have authority to do as Special Administrators.
The judge gave the duo broader powers than they had initially -- but lawyers for Katherine Jackson have kicked up some dust.
There's a legal showdown on Thursday at 2:30 PM PT. We'll be there.

Attorney Wants $3 Mil, Apology From MJ Estate
Posted Oct 20th 2009 1:52PM by TMZ Staff
Michael Jackson's former lawyer wants $3 million from the singer's estate -- he also wants an apology.
According to legal docs obtained by TMZ, attorney Sidney Lanier represented Jackson in several cases.
Lanier claims he repped MJ in a hotly contested case in 2005 involving former porn king and Jackson confidant Marc Schaffel. After the case, Jackson refused to pay the lawyer's fee and filed a lawsuit against Lanier claiming fraud.
Lanier alleges as a result of Jackson's suit, his reputation was sullied all over town. He claims Jackson put him through "two years of expensive, stressful litigation and ridicule..."
Lanier even goes as far as to say that he wishes Jackson hadn't died because he "wanted him to apologize for his action against me; because of his tragic death that can never happen."

Conrad Murray: MJ Is the Reason I Can't Pay
Posted Oct 20th 2009 12:53PM by TMZ Staff
Michael Jackson's death was a traumatic event for many people -- and apparently it's also the reason Dr. Conrad Murray can't take care of his kid.
According to documents filed last week -- objecting to the pending arrest warrant against the Dr. for not paying his support -- Dr. Conrad Murray explains, "As a result of the media coverage of Michael Jackson's death, combined with the deleterious effects of the current recession, [Murray] was simply unable to meet his obligations."
In the docs, Murray's lawyer says the doctor has no intention to "evade his obligations." But he says Murray "is temporarily unable to maintain a practice or obtain employment because of the extensive media coverage related to the death of Michael Jackson."
Murray is asking the judge to allow him to make "minimal payments" for now while he looks for a job.
As we first reported, his baby mama Nenita Malibiran (who is the mother of his 10-year-old son) obtained a judgment last month for $13,311.47 for missed child support payments.
